So many critics with there 2 cents. If your such a professional and know how to do this so well, then why not make your own video?! These guys are showing you how to do this in 8 minuets. I like this video.

Should of used wire in it.

The Neomix that they used has fiber in it.

@yournamehere954 I agree. Every time I look up a DIY there is some genius talking about how wrong they are. Often it's just splitting hairs and here, they're just arguing with success. If the cement was too thick the top of the counter would not be so smooth & seeing is believing, it looked great.

Their melamine form is nice.....but very expensive. I used old melamine coated interior doors from the Habitat Restore. They were $5 each and worked great.

@xdayonx Heres the problem with the fiber additive.....if you use it you have to do a two pour process pouring the surface first and a second core material pour. You cannot have the fiber in the surface material.....it frays when you try to polish the surface.

@lamproking1 They said they used a Fiber additive. For this low pressure situation no rebar would be needed.

[sincitypoolmam]

did you guys add rebar or rewire

[lamproking1]

They forgot to put in some rebar for reinforcement! In 15 years or so, someone is gonna have to remove it to replace cabinet's or something, and it's gonna break in half and smash their foot or break their shin bone! Damn freak accident's!!!

@tech2rescue they may have used a plasticiser

[miasmablk]

@Mncat30 yes actually if you have ever seen "quartz" counter tops you may be surprised to find out that they are actually concrete counter tops.
